I know this is probably a terrible basis of comparison, but I watch a ton of hockey, which features many Slovakian players.

One thing I have noticed is that the Slovaks tend to have less accented speech than the Czech players. I don't know whether that is because of how English is taught in either country, but the Slovaks tend to speak more concisely. That being said, when they speak faster, they do get a slight Russian lilt, which makes their speech sound slightly mumbly.

Later, I'll take some samplings of some of the Slovakian hockey players during post-game interviews and all of that and email them to you, and you can listen for yourself.

So, do you think the Slovaks would use the same spells as the wizarding world in the books? I can't remember Viktor Krum or Fleur or Gregorovitch using one of the spells from the books. Can anyone recall them doing so?
